and his disciples were saying to him - Thou seest the crowd pressing upon thee, - and sayest thou - Who hath touched me?

Then He said to her, “Daughter, your faith [your personal trust and confidence in Me] has restored you to health; go in peace and be [permanently] healed from your suffering.”

While He was still speaking, some people came from the synagogue official’s house, saying [to Jairus], “Your daughter has died; why bother the Teacher any longer?”

But Jesus disregarded what the person said and told the official, "Do not be afraid; just believe [i.e., in my power to restore your daughter]."

When they came to the home of the synagogue leader, Jesus saw mass confusion. People were crying and sobbing loudly.

And [when he] entered, he said to them, "Why are you agitated and weeping? The child is not dead, but is sleeping."

And they laughed him to scorn. But when he had put them all out, he taketh the father and the mother of the damsel, and them that were with him, and entereth in where the damsel was lying.

And straightway the damsel arose, and walked; for she was of the age of twelve years. And they were astonished with a great astonishment.

And he gave them special orders that they were not to say anything of this; and he said that some food was to be given to her.

And when the sabbath day was come, he began to teach in the synagogue: and many hearing him were astonished, saying, From whence hath this man these things? and what wisdom is this which is given unto him, that even such mighty works are wrought by his hands?

Is not this the carpenter, the son of Mary, the brother of James, and Joses, and of Juda, and Simon? and are not his sisters here with us? And they were offended at him.

And Jesus said unto them, "A prophet is not despised but in his own country, and among his own kin, and among them that are of the same household."

And He could not do any miracle there, except that He laid His hands on a few who were out of health and cured them; and

they were so marvellously incredulous. so that He went all about to teach in the neighbouring villages.

And he said that they were to take nothing for their journey, but a stick only; no bread, no bag, no money in their pockets;

but to put on sandals and not to wear two tunics.

Wherever you enter a house, make it your home till you leave that place.

And whosoever shall not receive you, nor hear you, when ye depart thence, shake off the dust under your feet for a testimony against them. Verily I say unto you, It shall be more tolerable for Sodom and Gomorrha in the day of judgment, than for that city.

And having gone forth they were preaching that men might reform,

And they cast out many devils, and anointed with oil many that were sick, and healed them.

And Herod the king heard of him (for his name had become public), and said, John the baptist is risen from among the dead, and on this account works of power are wrought by him.

Others said, That it is Elias. And others said, That it is a prophet, or as one of the prophets.

For John had been saying to Herod, “It is not lawful [under Mosaic Law] for you to have your brother’s wife.”

For Herod was in fear of John, being conscious that he was an upright and holy man, and kept him safe. And hearing him, he was much troubled; and he gave ear to him gladly.

and the daughter of the same Herodias having come in, and danced, pleased Herod and those that were with him at table; and the king said to the damsel, Ask of me whatsoever thou wilt and I will give it thee.

And he took an oath, saying to her, Whatever is your desire I will give it to you, even half of my kingdom.

And the king was very sad; but because of his oaths, and those who were with him at table, he would not say 'No' to her.

And the apostles are gathered together to Jesus. And they related to him all things, both what they had done and what they had taught.

And he said unto them, Come ye yourselves apart into a desert place, and rest a while: for there were many coming and going, and they had no leisure so much as to eat.

So, they [i.e., Jesus and His apostles] left by boat and went to a separate place [where they could be] alone.

And the people saw them going, and a number of them, having knowledge who they were, went running there together on foot from all the towns, and got there before them.

And Jesus, when he came out, saw much people, and was moved with compassion toward them, because they were as sheep not having a shepherd: and he began to teach them many things.

And, already, a late hour, having arrived, his disciples came unto him and were saying, A desert, is the place, and it is, already, a late hour:

"Give them food yourselves," He replied. "Are we," they asked, "to go and buy two hundred shillings' worth of bread and give them food?"

Then he gave orders that they were to make all the people lie down in parties on the green grass;

And they were placed in groups, by hundreds and by fifties.

And he took the five cakes of bread and the two fishes and, looking up to heaven, he said words of blessing over them; and when the cakes were broken, he gave them to the disciples to put before the people; and he made division of the two fishes among them all.

And they did all eat, and were filled.

and they picked up the broken pieces and fish that were left over, twelve baskets full.

And they that did eat of the loaves were about five thousand men.

Seeing the disciples straining at the oars, because the wind was against them, at about the fourth watch of the night (3:00-6:00 a.m.) He came to them, walking on the sea. And [acted as if] He intended to pass by them.

but when they saw him walking on the sea they thought it was a ghost and shrieked aloud ??50 for they all saw him and were terrified. Then he spoke to them at once; "Courage," he said, "it is I, have no fear."

For they all saw him, and were troubled. And immediately he talked with them, and saith unto them, Be of good cheer: it is I; be not afraid.

And he went up unto them into the ship; and the wind ceased: and they were sore amazed in themselves beyond measure, and wondered.

because they had not understood [the miracle of] the loaves [how it revealed the power and deity of Jesus]; but [in fact] their heart was hardened [being oblivious and indifferent to His amazing works].

Being got to the other side of the lake, they came to the country of Gennasereth, where they landed.

And when they were come out of the ship, straightway they knew him,

And ran through that whole region round about, and began to carry about in beds those that were sick, where they heard he was.

And whithersoever he entered, into villages, or cities, or country, they laid the sick in the streets, and besought him that they might touch if it were but the border of his garment: and as many as touched him were made whole.

And there are gathered together unto him the Pharisees, and certain of the scribes, who had come from Jerusalem,

And they saw that some of his disciples were eating their bread with unclean--that is, unwashed--hands.

(For the Pharisees and all the Jews--being, as they are, zealous for the traditions of the Elders--never eat without first carefully washing their hands,

and when they come from the market-place, except they bathe themselves, they eat not; and many other things there are, which they have received to hold, washings of cups, and pots, and brasen vessels.)

So the Pharisees and scribes asked Jesus, “Why do Your disciples not live their lives according to the tradition of the elders, but [instead] eat their bread with [ceremonially] unwashed hands?”

He replied, “Rightly did Isaiah prophesy about you hypocrites (play-actors, pretenders), as it is written [in Scripture],

‘These people honor Me with their lips,
But their heart is far from Me.

But idle is their devotion while they lay down precepts which are mere human rules.'

For having left the commandment of God, you are holding the tradition of men.

And he said unto them, Full well ye reject the commandment of God, that ye may keep your own tradition.

For Moses said, Honour thy father and thy mother; and, Whoso curseth father or mother, let him die the death:

But ye say, If a man shall say to his father or mother, It is Corban, that is to say, a gift, by whatsoever thou mightest be profited by me; he shall be free.

And ye suffer him no more to do ought for his father or his mother;

Making the word of God of none effect through your tradition, which ye have delivered: and many such like things do ye.

And turning to the people again, he said to them, Give ear to me all of you, and let my words be clear to you:

There is nothing from without a man, that entering into him can defile him: but the things which come out of him, those are they that defile the man.

And when he entered into a house from the multitude, his disciples were questioning him about the simile,

And he saith unto them, Are ye so without understanding also? Do ye not perceive, that whatsoever thing from without entereth into the man, it cannot defile him;

For it does not enter his heart but his stomach, and then goes out into the sewer." (This means all foods are clean.)

For from within, out of the heart of men, proceed the purposes which are evil: adulteries, lewd actions, murders,

all these vices come from within, and are what defile the man.

He was saying to her, “First let the children [of Israel] be fed, for it is not right to take the children’s bread and throw it to the pet dogs (non-Jews).”

And He said to her, “Because of this answer [reflecting your humility and faith], go [knowing that your request is granted]; the demon has left your daughter [permanently].”

accordingly she went home, where she found that the demon was indeed gone out of her daughter, and she was lying on the bed.

And they brought to him a man who was deaf and had difficulty speaking, and they were imploring him that he would place his hand on him.

And straightway his ears were opened, and the string of his tongue was loosed, and he spake plain.

And he charged them that they may tell no one, but the more he was charging them, the more abundantly they were proclaiming it,

And were beyond measure astonished, saying, He hath done all things well: he maketh both the deaf to hear, and the dumb to speak.

At that time, as the company were very numerous, and had nothing to eat, Jesus called his disciples, and said,

and if I send them away fasting to their home, they will faint on the way; and some of them are come from far.

And his disciples answered him, "Where is anyone able to feed these [people] with bread here in the desert?"

They also had a few small fish, and when He had blessed them, He said these were to be served as well.

So they did eat, and were filled: and they took up of the broken meat that was left seven baskets.

And they that had eaten were about four thousand: and he sent them away.

Then immediately He got into the boat with His disciples and went to the district of Dalmanutha.

The Pharisees and Sadducees [i.e., these were strict sects of the Jewish religion], came out and began disputing with Jesus, asking for a [supernatural] sign from Him, [in an attempt] to test Him.

Jesus repeatedly ordered them, saying, “Watch out! Beware of the leaven of the Pharisees and the leaven of Herod.”

and they were reasoning with one another, saying -- 'Because we have no loaves.'

And when Jesus knew it, he saith unto them, Why reason ye, because ye have no bread? perceive ye not yet, neither understand? have ye your heart yet hardened?

Are your minds so slow to comprehend? You have eyes, do you not see? You have ears, do you not hear?

He again asked, "And when the seven loaves were divided among the four thousand persons, how many large basketfuls of broken pieces did you gather up?" And they said to Him, "Seven large basketfuls."

Then they came to Bethsaida, where some people brought a blind man to Jesus, and begged him to touch him.

And he looked up and said, "I see the men; For I see them walk as they were trees."

miles north of Lake Galilee]. On their way, He asked His disciples, "Who are people saying that I am?"

And He sent him to his home, saying, “Do not even enter the village.”

And forth went Jesus and his disciples, into the villages of Caesarea of Philip. And, in the way, he was questioning his disciples, saying unto them - Who, are men saying that I am?

And they told him, saying, "John the Baptist, and others Elijah, and others that [you are] one of the prophets."

And He asked them, “But who do you say that I am?” Peter replied to Him, “You [in contrast to the others] are the Christ (the Messiah, the Anointed).”

Peter answered him, "You are the Messiah!" Jesus sternly ordered them not to tell anyone about him.

But he, turning round and seeing his disciples, rebuked Peter, saying, Get away behind me, Satan, for thy mind is not on the things that are of God, but on the things that are of men.

Or what shall a man give in exchange for his soul?

And he said unto them, Verily I say unto you, There are some here of them that stand by , who shall in no wise taste of death, till they see the kingdom of God come with power.
